Leif Bersweden spent the summer of his gap year
in 2013 hunting down all 52 species of orchid native
to Britain and Ireland. He introduces his book,
The Orchid Hunter, which tells the tale of this quest.
As he travels all over the country, Leif teaches us
about some of our most extraordinary native plants,
the history of orchid hunting in Britain as well
as sharing stories about growing up to love plants.

Admission free for members of £1 for guests. Booking advisable.

For more information or to book a place please contact Tomos Jones at mk818656@reading.ac.uk.
All funds raised go to the upkeep of the Harris Garden.
